Difficulty: EasyWireless LAN Client Connectivity Configuration via WLC GUI

An administrator is configuring a new Wireless LAN (WLAN) using the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) web GUI. Which two settings must be configured on the WLANs > Edit 'General' tab to enable basic client connectivity and map wireless traffic to the wired network? (Select two.)

  1. Check the Enabled box under Status to activate the WLAN.Answer
  2. Select the appropriate Interface or Interface Group name from the drop-down menu.Answer
  3. C
    Set the WPA2 Pre-Shared Key (PSK) under Layer 2 Security.
  4. D
    Specify the external RADIUS server IP address and shared secret key.

Answer

The two required configurations on the General tab are enabling the WLAN Status checkbox and selecting the target Interface/Interface Group.
On a Cisco WLC GUI, the WLANs > Edit 'General' tab is used to establish core settings: enabling the WLAN Status checkbox makes the network active, and selecting the Interface/Interface Group ties wireless clients to the appropriate wired network interface.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Navigate to the WLANs menu in the Cisco WLC GUI and open the General tab for the specific WLAN.
The General tab displays primary parameters including Profile Name, SSID, Status, and Interface/Interface Group.
This tab establishes fundamental WLAN administrative identity and traffic mapping.
2
Select the Enabled checkbox under Status.
The WLAN transitions to an active state across joining access points.
By default, new WLANs are created in a disabled state to prevent unexpected broadcasts before full setup.
3
Select the designated dynamic interface or interface group from the Interface/Interface Group menu.
Wireless client data frames are bridged onto the corresponding wired VLAN.
A WLAN must be tied to a controller interface to map client traffic into the underlying local network infrastructure.
